Wayne State University Master's Program in Anatomy and Cell Biology (ACB) is designed to provide rigorous graduate training for pre-professionals who wish to pursue careers that are related to health care and rooted in biomedical sciences.

The interdisciplinary curriculum consists of scholarly coursework concentrated on the anatomy and cell biology of human systems and practical research or teaching experiences. The ACB Master's program requires both a written thesis and oral, public defense for successful completion. The program provides opportunities for students to gain experience, build skills, and strengthen their academic records which will inform their career decisions.

Upon completion of their degree, many students will teach, work as laboratory technicians, or continue their education in biomedical Ph.D. programs. However, a cohort of students in the program seek admission to medical school. Therefore, a linkage agreement has been formed with Wayne State University School of Medicine (WSUSOM). Students who meet certain GPA, MCAT, professionalism, and course requirements after completing 20 credits of ACB didactic anatomy courses will be granted an interview.
